Drew Barrymore shared her deep connection with Hawaii during a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, where she conversed with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Barrymore revealed that Hawaii holds a special place in her heart as it was the first place she ever traveled to, accompanied by her mother and grandfather. She reminisced about staying at the iconic Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu's Waikiki Beach during her childhood visit.
During the show, Barrymore expressed her admiration for Johnson's new men's personal care brand, Papatui, which features products made with cleaner ingredients and a focus on performance. Johnson, in turn, shared the inspiration behind the brand's name, derived from his Samoan grandfather's nickname 'Tui' and his role as a proud father of three daughters.
In an exclusive interview, Johnson discussed how his upcoming trip to Hawaii sparked the idea for Papatui, allowing him to immerse himself in the 'aloha spirit' and draw inspiration from his family's grooming traditions. The actor emphasized the importance of honoring his heritage through the skincare line, which pays tribute to his grandfather's impeccable grooming habits.
Additionally, Barrymore and Johnson engaged in a fun game called 'The Fanny Five,' where Barrymore, dressed in Johnson's signature black turtleneck and fanny pack, challenged him to perform various tasks. Johnson effortlessly completed a challenge involving five squats with Barrymore on his back, showcasing his strength and good humor.
